The Route of the Nazrids
... Cazorla. Unfortunately, most of the time we drove in the pouring rain. Not exactly an auspicious start to our trip! It was a pleasure to drive on these virtually empty roads which were in great condition with some incredible views of the Sierra Nevada and other mountain ranges along the way. We reached Cazorla town in the mid afternoon. Driving down the valley we got our first glimpses of the town which is improbably situated atop a hill with a castle towering above on an even ...
